Description

The Edge is an epic adventure soundtrack with a twist -- based upon a series of live tabletop role-playing sessions, the music follows the story of a group of adventurers as their journey takes place. Each song is written after a gaming session -- the actions of the players decide how the music sounds. The result is a soundtrack that evolves organically as the story and characters do.

History

Conceived by Silverstring's resident composer Devin Vibert, The Edge is a multi-volume soundtrack created to accompany a tabletop role-playing campaign that he runs. After each session of the game, in the next week or so he writes music that is tied to the events of that day. Then, once a week, Silverstring Media posts a single track from the album on YouTube, accompanied by a synopsis of the in-game events that occurred and some thoughts from Devin on the musical decisions he made. Meanwhile, the full albums are available to buy from Silverstring's website.
